Grilled Feta And Tomato Sandwich Recipes

GREEK FETA GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat the pan on medium.
• Add a slab of butter to the pan and let it melt completely.
• Assemble half of the cheese on one slice of bread. Layer on the tomato slices, onions, and olives, (plus the oregano if you want it) and top with the other half of your cheese. Feta usually comes in a somewhat thin block, so cutting it into thin strips works well for a sandwich like this.
• Once the butter is completely melted, coats the whole pan, and starts bubbling a little, put the sandwich into the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, checking to make sure it isn't burning.
• Once the first side is golden brown, flip and cook the other side. Add a sliver of butter to the pan if needed.
• When both sides are a crispy golden brown and the cheese is melty, your Greek feta grilled cheese sandwich is done and ready to eat.

GRILLED FETA AND TOMATO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Brush both sides of each bread slice with some oil. Cut enough 1/4-inch-thick slices from feta to cover 2 slices of bread and cut tomato into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Assemble 2 sandwiches with feta and tomato slices, seasoning filling with oregano and LOTS of pepper.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook sandwiches until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Variation: Adding sliced or chopped Kalamata olives is a delicious addition.
• Note: This is a grilled sandwich that is delicious served at room temperature too.

• Chop basil and sprinkle over salad. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper.
